I found out the news from the Facebook page, forgot rule #1 of the internet; never read the comments!

"Only band worth watching at the whole thing :(" When the Foo Fighters are invited back this imbecile is going to be trying to get tickets again next for year, when another round of devoted efesters will inevitably experience the gut-wrenching disappointment. Drop in the ocean, I know, most Glastonbury goers are wonderful people, but it just aggravates me.

It won't be Florence. They are going to need someone pretty special

There's a lot of disappointed people out there. I work with a girl that's going for the first time and she's heartbroken about Dave Grohl.She has no idea just how good it is . At least we won't have long to wait for an announcement. My thoughts are well known. If you agree with me sign my petition. Let's bring 1989 to Worthy Farm.

Like them or not you've really got to feel for the Foos, particularly Dave. Imagine you're about to play Wembley Stadium then headline Glastonbury and you break your leg. Must be devastating feeling you've let so many people down. Hope they come back next year (subbing for Biffy & Foals.)

 

Also sucks for Royal Blood who were going to support them at Wembley, must've been so excited for that one.

Will they reprint the programme and everything and Guardian Guides? I can't remember what happened when U2 pulled out.

No they won't. Stevie Winwood was headlining Sunday in 1997 but cancelled, but even the poster wasn't changed to reflect that Ash actually headlined. Ash also subbed the Other on the Friday.

 

Which is a bit of a kick in the nuts for anyone who imagines it has to be a big band that replaces the Foos.

    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker. 
    • A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good. 
    • I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
